This year, we are seeking to meet these objectives through attendance at the AEAC student competition. WARG is currently developing a quadcopter aircraft (project PegasusProject Pegasus) and a fixed wing aircraft (unnamed) to compete in this year’s competition at the end of May.

...

This co-op is intended to be developing projects longer term than just this competition cycle and will be decoupled from system level engineering in favor of electrical board (PCBA) level engineering.
